THE wHITEBoY ACT.
An Old Statute Revived for the Coercion OF
the People Of Ireland.

An Old Statute Revived for the Coercion OF
the People Of Ireland.
In publishing list of offenses punishable
under the whiteboy act, the British govern
ment is going back more than century into
history. The Whiteboys, an association Of
Irish peasantry formed somewhere about
l76O, took their name, as is generally under
stood, from the white shirts they wore in
their expeditions by night. Their efforts
were at first largely directed, in the county
Of Tipperary, to throwing down the fences
with which some proprietors, under acquired
rights, turned into private Enclosures lands
that had up to that time been used in com.
mon. But their objects soon included general
combinations against the exactions Of tithes,
oppressive rents, and so on, and hnally
various acts of outrage. The general griev-
ances arising out of the tenure of land being
then Of the same class as those now preya-
lent, we see an official reorganization OF the
offenses and penalties of that day. The nrst
reflection which suggests itself, however IS
that after the lapse Of generations and the
efforts of many Lawmakers the same olu
troubles arise and repressiye acts are again
called into play, while the same resort TO
secret combinations exists among the peop'

EYES ANALYzED.

What Temperament Should Go With the
Black, the Brown, the Blue.
Speaking popularity, we may say that
eyes are brown, blue, gray, hazel, black,
green, or of no color at all. The last
three varieties, however, are based on a
misnomer. Speaking generally again,
we may say that blue eyes take care OF
their friends, brown of their enemies,
gray of their countries, black of their
pleasures, and green of themselves. The
blue is certainly the type with:the great
est number Of varieties. 1t is color
that illustrates prominently the femi-
nine qualities--tenderness affection, a

The builders and real estate people have
been doing comparatively little this week.
If they could have some assurance that the
carpenters, plumbers, painters, bricklayers,
ETC., would not spring another strike on
them for higher pay or less time, the con-
tractors at the Builders Exchange assert,
they would not hesitate to go ahead with
various undertakings that are kept in abey-
ance and which involve investments run
ming into the millions. AS ii is, they prefer
to rest on their oars and watch the progress
of events. Last season good many con-
tracts for new buildings were made, with a
precautionary clause, providing that in the
case of strikes they would be subject to revi-
sion, but this did not work satisfactorily, for
many reasons, and the disposition now Is to
discountenance it and to take no risk what
soever. There are many buildings at pres
ent under way, both in the upper wards
and on the outskirts of Brooklyn and no
trouble is reported at any of them, but there
is vague apprehension that there is TO be a
concerted movement after the first of May
similar to the carpenters strike now in prog
ress at Chicago, to force the eight-hour
rule, and also at the same time TO insist
upon higher pay The apprehension may be
unfounded, but as long as it exists builders
and contractors will move with caution.--

upon their candidates. Candidates
who are unanimously backed by their

ward, are better prepared 10 forward
the true interests Of the city. just At

The fourth and last lecture Of the
X. w. L. course, was given last Mon
day night. The subject Of the lecture
was "The Merchant Of Venice" and
was a critical review Of this great
Shakesl cream play. The lecture re-
vealed the clear knowledge Of the
speaker, not only Of this particular
one Of ShAKespeare's plays, but Of his
works In general. In no other work
did the great dramatist bring out so
strongly the real strength Of wOman's
character, and no other female char
acter ia his various plays displays the
shrewdness Of POrtia. The characters
of Shylock, the Jew. Antonio and
Bassanio were carefully analysed,
and Il much better knowledge was
obtained Of the various drdmdtis par
sOi'G OF the play. by the audience.
